Ohh Black Friday!! I
was awake early and it was foggy, a perfect time to for a walk!
We have booked a rental car from today for three days, we
only really need a couple of days but Enterprise is not open on Sunday and we
need a ride back to base when we return it, so three days it is. The plan for today is to go to the Texas Govt.
Drivers Licencing office and book in to start the process for a Texas Driving
License, this would mean we could save a lot or $ on our coach insurance. You can book on line for an appointment and
we did give that a try but we couldn’t chose a day/time to suit us and anyway
Kim would rather front up and take it from there. So we rock up to the outfit and there are
about 92 people sitting in the waiting room (maximum seating for 94) waiting for
their turn. Kim hasn’t even filled out
his paperwork so it’s not looking likely that this will go much further! Short version of the long and fraught version,
is that we won’t be applying for a Texas Drivers Licence any time soon!
What to do next, we have a rental car - Kim has been lamenting
not having a car for most of this trip, he says he wants to look around! So here we are, we have a car and a free day
or three, what would he like to do?? It
turns out he has no plans he just wants to have a car. So I win - let’s go shopping. But first we go to Walmart and rent a Rug
Doctor so we can clean our carpet and upholstery. That takes a couple of hours and then we
return the Rug Doctor. It did a pretty
good job too.
Just off the I45 is a shopping centre with a few of the
shops I would like to visit - so that’s where we go. Spend a couple of hours shopping with a good
result (parcels) then back to the coach to check the state of our carpet
etc. It is a bit damp still but we have
a drink and nibbles and think about what we might do next. In the end we eat our own food at home and I
google what where we might go to look around tomorrow., Kim wants ice cream so got that sorted, I
have also found a steakhouse close by so that will be dinner tomorrow
night.
